About the Item
Signed lower left, 'S. Omori', for Sakue Omori (Japanese, 1919-2001) and painted circa 1965; additionally signed in Kanji, verso, with artist's name 大森 朔衛 (Omori Sakue) and titled, 'Mount Fuji'.
A large and exuberant, mid-century oil by this well-listed Japanese Modernist and Professor of Fine Art who studied in Paris and is particularly known for his lyrical landscape abstractions.
Sakusuke (Sakue) Omori was born in Takamatsu City in Kagawa Prefecture. He drew enthusiastically as a child and, by the age of 12, had resolved to become an artist. At the age of 13, he encountered the work of the Japanese Modernist, Takeji Fujishima, which further confirmed his vocation. Omori moved to Tokyo at the age of 18 and, despite his parents objections, entered the Japan Art School where he majored in oil painting. In 1940, at the age of 21, he was granted his first public exhibition. In 1941, he was selected as an exhibitor for the Independent Art Exhibition and, in 1942, for the Art Creators Association Exhibition. In 1943, Omori won the Kagawa Prefectural Governor's Award and also received the Naval Association Award at the Great Japan Maritime Art Exhibition. After the war, with his studio and his work having been destroyed by fire, he returned to Tokyo to build a new atelier in Yochomachi.
In 1950, Omori became a founding member of Japan's Modern Art Association and a member of the Action Art Association. In 1960, he was awarded the prestigious K-shi prize at the Contemporary Japanese Art Exhibition and was invited to exhibit at the Japan International Contemporary Art Exhibition. In 1968, he moved to Paris where he lived and painted for two years on the Isle de Saint-Louis. Returning to Japan, he was appointed Professor of Art at Musashino University and, subsequently, served as deputy-chairman of the committee for the establishment of the Fuchu Art Museum.
Over the course of a long career, Sakue Omori exhibited widely and with success and was the recipient of many prizes, medals and juried awards. The artist's works are held in the permanent collections of numerous museums including the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Modern Art, the Kagawa Prefectural Museum, the Takamatsu City Museum of Art, the Imabari City Tamagawa Museum of Modern Art, the Fuchu City Museum of Art, Musashino Art University Museum of Art and the Okawa Museum of Art among others. We are pleased to offer this large and vibrant work that dates to the artist's middle period.
